“In my hour of need The Lighthouse staff were there to help me. They shared my laughter and helped me through my tears. I’ve had a very enjoyable stay in a warm and welcoming place. Now I’m looking forward to a new start in a new place. Thanks for everything!”

Angela | Former Client

“So many ‘talk the talk’, speak of what they will do to help those who are homeless or at life’s low ebb. Virtually none ‘walk the walk’. In short talk is cheap and ineffective but at The Lighthouse the terrific staff and volunteers ‘talk and walk’ their help and efforts are magnificent and pragmatic… Thanks for everything”
